Our Gold Open Access Model

Peter Lang offers authors optional Gold Open Access. With Gold Open Access your research will be freely available online for others to read, download and share immediately upon publication and without any embargo period.

When taking advantage of Gold Open Access both your print and Open Access publication benefit from our marketing, distribution and data management services, with no restrictions. The Open Access publication will be available on the Peter Lang website, OAPEN, Google Books and national research repositories in collaboration with many research funders. We are committed to offering you a fast and flexible service, fully supported by our experienced editorial and marketing teams.

What are the benefits of Gold Open Access for authors?

Accessibility – research becomes freely available as soon as it is published.

Discoverability – studies have shown that Open Access publications gain more views, citations and downloads than publications with restricted access.

Engagement – increased visibility means more possibilities for public engagement and collaboration.
